Default Web site software

only expensive if you buy it, for about 5cents of power, and a download of a
filesharing programmmG

I have used DreamWeaver to buuild about 6 sites so far--and I speak
relatively little HTML...Altho Dreamweaver may seem expensive at first
blush, if you value your time, you will save quite a bit using a WYSIWYG
(what you see is what you get) design tool. Dreamweaver is now one of the
best on the market, and produces a site that is easiy maintained and
modified. You DO need to know what you are doing, however, but there are
some very good books on the market, such as "Dreamweaver for Dummies" that
will get you going. If you are speedy, some of the Dreamweaver books come
with a 30 day evaluation copy.

I want to redo my site and want something better than FrontPage.
Suggestions appreciated.

IMHO _ANYTHING_ is better than FrontPage. The big questions: how much do
you know about web authoring (or how much do you want to learn) to produce
your new site? Do you demand a WYSIWIG product? (most of which produce

sad
HTML and the results seldom look as they promised during the authoring)
Speaking for myself, it is entirely possible to produce a perfectly
acceptable site using nothing more advanced than a text editor like

NotePad.
My first two sites were done that way. I've since moved to Macromedia
HomeSite to gain the advantages of editing across multiple files
simultaneously as my site now consist of hundreds of files. Of course this
takes us back to the first question since doing the job the simple clean

way
demands that the site creator knows HTML authoring...
